Hold the glidepath
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 300 ft gate: glideslope 5.2° against the runway's 3°, centreline 1.4° off, against a 1° limit and wings 25° of bank, against a 10° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,277 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,279 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
A XCub aircraft departed from Jackson Hole Airport, runway 19, with a takeoff distance of 1,293 feet, representing 20% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 60 knots, with a local temperature of 55°F and a wind of 2 knots at 270°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, while the headwind component was negligible.
As the aircraft climbed to 8,139 feet above sea level, it demonstrated a climb rate of 756 feet in one minute, covering a distance of one nautical mile. The enroute level cruise phase began two miles south of the departure airport, lasting 20 minutes and covering 38 nautical miles. The aircraft then commenced a series of descents and climbs, with notable decreases in altitude of 660 feet in two minutes and 1,129 feet in two minutes. The final descent began six miles north of ID72 Huskey Airport, with the aircraft touching down on runway 22 at Driggs/Reed Memorial Airport after a total flight distance of 90 nautical miles.
The landing was characterized by a touchdown speed of 37 knots, a smooth touchdown rate of -134 feet per minute, and a touchdown distance of 1,274 feet, representing 25% of the runway length. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 56 feet. The aircraft taxied to the parking area in one minute, covering less than one nautical mile. The total fuel consumption for the flight was 46 pounds, and the flight duration was 50 minutes.
The aircraft touched down on runway 22 at KDIJ Driggs/Reed Memorial Airport with a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach. The threshold speed of 58 kt was also satisfactory, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's descent and airspeed. The touchdown distance of 1,274 ft was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 37 kt was also good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
The touchdown characteristics were generally smooth, with a touchdown rate of -134 fpm, which is within the normal range for a safe landing. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 15 ft from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 55 °F and a light headwind of 1 kt, were favorable for the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,838 ft was 25% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 56 ft from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the rollout phase. Despite these minor deviations, the overall landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 93.6%.
